Walker Kessler started off as a sub for the first two months, and then he became the main center for Utah. He finished the season strong, averaging 9.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in 23.0 mins per game, with 72.0% shooting accuracy. In his second season, he's expected to start as center for a playoff-seeking team. Managers should know his value is mainly in three categories, the most important of which is blocked shots; he averaged 2.3 per game last year with signs of improvement to come. He's a good option for those who don't go for the more highly-ranked centers and could lead the league in blocks in his sophomore year.

Walker Kessler (concussion) out Thursday

Walker Kessler (concussion) is out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fantasy Impact

Thursday will be the second-straight game that Kessler has missed while in the league's concussion protocol. It's unclear when he will be back, and the team is hopeful that will be sooner rather than later. Udoka Azubuike will continue to get additional run while the big man is out against OKC.
